COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Both cross country teams competed in the NCAA South Central Regional on Friday, and both teams competed admirably against some of the best teams in the nation. The women's team tied a program-record placement, finishing tenth in the regional. The men's team placed 15^th, claiming a pair of top-100 spots along the way.
 
The women's tenth place finish matched a previous record set more than a decade ago, in 2013. Madeline Hill finished in 51^st, the best finish by the women's team. Her time of 20:53.8 had her just seconds ahead of Ali Nachtigal, who finished in 53^rd with a time of 20:58.0. Sequoya Prentice clocked in at 21:39.7, followed closely by Felisa Saheib, who crossed the finish line at 21:42.6. Anna Bommes finished the 6K in 22:00.1, and Emma Selph checked in at 23:32.9.
 
On the men's side, Pete Johnson finished in 41^st, with a time of 31:02.8. Jack Dingman finished in 74^th with a time of 31:43.3, and Trae Baker wrapped up his freshman season with a time of 32:34.1. Carlos Hernandez was close behind Baker at 32:35.0, with Mason Bickle shortly behind Hernandez at 32:39.9. Gavin Frick finished his 10K at 33:55.6, just ahead of Samuel Morales' 34:02.6.
 
From head coach Josey Weaver:
"What a way to end our cross country season! This has been a rewarding and exciting group to coach. Watching them grow as individuals and grow closer as a team all year has been a joy. For our women to be tenth in the region shows their growth and dedication to their teammates and this university. Very proud of our men as well, solid and gutsy performance over the 10K distance. We'll transition now to indoor track and field. I'm looking forward to that as well."
